A connection is built over time.
It is a slow and deliberate process.
I converse with someone new and it seems that our words are fully engaged in a beautiful courtship.
Christin Hume
We seem to not only be on the same page but authors of the same book of love!
Then suddenly without warning, she disappears… no text messages, no returned phone calls, justpoof!
Im left wondering what happened.
We had such a great connection!
No, we had a great conversation, and thats all we had.
I allowed myself to fantasize about the possibility of courting her without knowing the real her.
I was seduced by the conversation and falsely believed it was a connection.
A connection is built over time.
It is a slow and deliberate process.
Im not suggesting we stop bravely putting our hearts out there and trying!
No, not at all.
Im insisting that caution should be exercised in every new dating encounter.
Dont aim to sync with every person who happens to be a good conversationalist.
Allow each conversation to serve as a building block in forming a real connection down the line.
Keep expectations realistic and maintain a bit of logic while your head is in the clouds.
Dont think for one moment a connection will prevent pain or provide protection from hurtful behavior.
Be cautious, not suspicious.
Be mindful, not paranoid.
Be detailed-oriented, not a trouble seeker.
Dont wait in constant anticipation for the proverbial ball to drop, just be prepared in case it does.
In the end, the one person you should always remain connected with is YOU!
Remember you are looking for someone to compliment you,notcomplete you.
You are already complete and imperfectly perfect!
